But you *must* address it! Otherwise, how will we know whose side
you're on?

You think the simplest computer model is nonsense?

Especially if it doesn't model physical theory or process!

this should be assign := not equals.

A:=target(P) and P:=target(A)

Why should we listen to a guy who can't even use an alphabet
set of symbols to spell his own name correctly? Turing machines
are not an effective way to model scientific processes!

A Turing machine is a theoretical device that manipulates symbols
contained on a strip of tape. Despite its simplicity, a Turing machine
can be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm, and is
particularly useful in explaining the functions of a CPU inside of a
computer. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

I worked my share of tasks with Turing machines in graduate
school. There more efficient ways of modeling physical reality.
